#124 - SUPPLEMENTS - SOLO PODCAST

It's SOLO podcast time. Today we talk about SUPPLEMENTS and how they correlate to your physique goal success in the realms of training and nutrition with real takeaways you can start applying now. If this sounds like something your interested in, please share and enjoy! 🙏🏽 SUPPLEMENTS: THE BREAKDOWN

I’m going to change the way you think and use supplements. Firstly, I think its important (as I say to all my clients) to understand the definition of what a supplement actually is; A thing that is added to something else to enhance, improve and complete it. Or in a more nutrition specific context. A substance that is added to optimise and enhance the whole whilst filling any gaps/deficiencies that cannot be met via food.

THE MAGIC PILL 

Somewhere along the way they have become much more, apparently they are magic, they are a must if you want to gain slabs of lean muscle and loose fat like its going out of fashion. Let me tell you now, anyone or any company who claims that supplements do such things, are either trying to trick you out of your own money or are highly uneducated. Money has made people greedy and corrupted the earth; supplements are just another example of this.

SUPPLEMENT CHOICES

However there are supplements that are worth taking, scientifically proven and a worthy investment if you are: 

Adhere/understand basic training and nutrition protocols 

Consuming sufficient amounts of macros and micronutrients in accordance to your goals via food

Have a severe deficiency in said nutrients 

Looking to maximise performance and are at an advanced level

These are some of my recommendations (that have been proven by legitimate scientific research) for supplementation to give you that extra percentage of performance and fill any gaps that cannot be met by food for strength-based athletes. 

Protein Powders/Blends 

Creatine Monohydrate 

Branch Chain Amino Acids 

Essential Fatty Acids 

Beta Alanine 

Caffeine 

Vitamin D 

Now this list is not the most comprehensive and you certainly don’t need all of them, in fact the truth is to achieve your body composition goals you don’t need any of them, they are not essential. However they may help you perform/recover more optimally, and help out in the way of convenience, they are a luxury. 

THE BOTTOM LINE

There you have it, the truth about supplements in a summed up format, but more importantly the order and priority of nutrition implementation with specifically what matters the most too what matters the least. This should now give you confidence going forward to pursue your health and fitness goals with clarity and piece of mind.I hope, in fact, I’m sure you found all of this helpful so far, but I'll never know for sure if I don’t get any feedback. So when you're digging into your ice cream, still losing body fat, and walking out of the supplement store with more cash in your pocket, spare a thought for me. Shoot me an email and share your success with others (in the group etc.) of how this knowledge has helped you. I love to hear about people’s success and overcoming their fears and limitations to better help and inspire others to achieve their health and fitness goals too.
